Zancudo Folding Knife

The Zancudo: a KnifeCenter exclusive designed by the makers of ESEE Knives.The Zancudo was designed by survival experts Mike Perrin and Jeff Randall at ESEE Knives and produced exclusively for KnifeCenter by Blue Ridge Knives. The product is a slim, well-built blade that punches above its weight in terms of price and function.

The three-inch blade is made from AUS-8 stainless steel with either a black or stonewash finish – very simple, but effective. It is deployed via the dual thumbstuds and there is a very slight bit of jimping on the spine for grip.

The handle features a digital camo FRN scale and a frame-lock mechanism, which is a nice addition on such an affordable folder. Feels very solid while still weighing in at just over three ounces. It has a flow-through design and a pocket clip that can be reversed for tip-up or tip-down right hand carry.
